The great return to the world of men! “8 Things” hits cinemas on 28 January – the follow-up to the comedy hit that drew more than a million viewers to the big screen. The cast includes Alicja Bachleda Curuś, Mikołaj Roznerski, Zbigniew Zamachowski, Maciej Zakościelny, Piotr Głowacki, Leszek Lichota, Katarzyna Skrzynecka and Karolina Bruchnicka. We present the film’s teaser.
WHAT’S NEW WITH THE GUYS?
Five years older, but not necessarily more mature, the guys swing back into action!
The power of friendship, moments of emotion and the wild adventures of characters audiences adore. How have their lives turned out? What came after the proverbial “happily ever after”? In the next instalment of the comedy about male “weaknesses”, Ricky battles a creative crisis, Jarosław struggles with panic attacks, Filip goes wild on the stock market, Stefan tries to keep his anger in check, and Kordian tries to mend a broken heart. Only Tomek, the last of the friends, still boldly pursues his dreams. And it finally lands him in trouble. Alongside Basia and Zosia, familiar from the previous film, a brand-new heroine – the mysterious Pestka – gets swept into the whirlwind of the guys’ escapades.
A CLOSE-KNIT CREW AND NEW FACES
After the enormous success of the first film – “7 rzeczy, których nie wiecie o facetach” – Alicja Bachleda Curuś, Mikołaj Roznerski, Zbigniew Zamachowski, Maciej Zakościelny, Piotr Głowacki and Leszek Lichota reunited on set. They were joined by Karolina Bruchnicka, Katarzyna Skrzynecka and Joanna Jarmołowicz.
– It is a pleasure to return to the set of this film and to meet characters I am very fond of. It was a thoroughly enjoyable adventure. The film is full of humour and emotion, though a few matters are serious – not everything here is comedy. It is certainly entertaining, but many women and men will also recognise themselves in it, so it will be sentimental and nostalgic too – says Alicja Bachleda Curuś.
The first film in the series, “7 rzeczy, których nie wiecie o facetach”, was seen by 1.1 million cinemagoers, and by 3.2 million during its first television broadcast. The production also reigned on VOD services and streaming platforms in Poland.
“8 Things” was directed by Sylwester Jakimow. The screenplay was written by Alina Puchała, Adam Musielski and others. The comedy is an MTL Maxfilm production. The film was co-financed by the Polish Film Institute.
The film hits cinema screens on 28 January.
